Beautify, Preen and Primp

Everything you need to beautify, preen & primp, the Lacura line has offerings for all your skincare product needs. Lacura, based in Germany and beloved all over Europe, manufactures anti-aging products, creams, toners and moisturizers, at a fraction of the cost -- up to 95% less -- proposed by the big name companies (L'Oreal, Olay, etc.). Word has it that when it was announced that the products were being offered at the European Aldi locations, they sold out in one day. Aldi became the exclusive seller of Lacura product in the U.S. in March 2009.

The real brouhaha in Europe, as you can imagine, has been over the facial creams. The anti-wrinkle day and night creams, in particular. A lot of women are swearing by this stuff. And - believe it or not - only $3.99 (as of this writing) for a 1.7 oz. jar!

[Exciting News, we'll be staging our first Aldi/Lacura makeovers soon. We'll feature four women with different complexions. They will first make up their faces using their usual cosmetics and then they'll use all Lacura products. You'll get to see their befores and afters! Be sure to check back for the results.]

And, of course, to beautify is not only about makeup. Get toothbrushes, mouthwash and toothpaste. Aldi carries the 6 oz. tubes of Colgate.
